KABUL: The Afghan government has announced the creation of a new army corps for the north of the country where Taliban insurgents have made recent gains.
The additional troop presence is aimed at beefing up military support against increased Taliban attacks on security forces and infrastructure projects.
President Ashraf Ghani has previously said that more than 45,000 members of the Afghan security forces have been killed in fighting with the Taliban since he took office over four years ago. Tens of thousands of other security personnel have also been injured.
